ASPIRE Graduate Programme - Commercial/Quantity Surveying (East London)

Are you looking for a graduate scheme that gives you an insight into different business areas while strengthening your development through modules and projects? Commencing in September each year, this is our two-year Graduate programme.

In year one, you will join your chosen discipline to meet the team, settle into the business, and have an impact on meaningful work. During this year, you’ll also begin six two-month placements on rotation, designed to give an all-round insight into our business.

Following your rotations, you’ll re-join your initial team to specialise in your chosen area. The projects will be longer, more strategic, and the experience more focused and intense.

As part of your chosen discipline in Commercial, you will be responsible for controlling costs and driving best value for all aspects of our projects. You’ll be involved from the beginning, controlling and reporting on cost, then throughout the development process setting site budgets and targets, monitoring costs, and negotiating contracts with suppliers so we can keep buying land and building quality homes in a cost-effective and sustainable way.

You'll also benefit from volunteer opportunities, chances to study for further qualifications, and will complete development modules including leadership, communication, and project management.

Follow a tailored plan with clear goals, feedback, and formal mentoring from a Managing Director
Attend all Group Development modules and Functional Meetings
Contribute to continuous business growth by taking on projects as agreed with mentor
Contribute towards Corporate Responsibility goals by driving volunteer projects in the local area
